But nobody (except a few experts) messes with redisplay. Redisplay is
*hard*. There are very few redisplays capable of doing what Emacs can
do. Emacs, XEmacs. *Maybe* Gecko (Mozilla) or Webkit (Safari). On
the other hand, the way you write your post, I doubt it requires
changes to redisplay, but I could be wrong. So I think you need to
explain what it is you want to do.
Note that Mozilla has a high-level language (XUL) for managing its
display (and other aspects of user interface). Add-ons are written in
that language. Well, so does Emacs: Emacs Lisp.

Emacs is also standardized and easy to learn. There are just many
fewer people interested in writing Lisp libraries than there are
writing Mozilla add-ons.
